How long from standing unsupported to walking?
in Baby
After posting about how worried I was a dd is 10 months and not crawling or attempting to move, over the last few days she's pretty much become obsessed with standing up. She cant get up on her own as she's not figured out how to get her feet underneath her (plus she slides on our laminate) but if she has something to wedge her feet against she can pull herself up by holding someones hands or the end of her cot.
She then began standing quite happily with just a hand or two on the sofa for support and then yesterday she was sat on my lap on the floor, stood herself up and stood !! On her own !! Holding onto nothing It was only a second but I figure with her sense of balance thats pretty darn good.
Anyway today she's done it three times today already and the longest was probably a couple of seconds
Plus if we hold her hand and sort of pull forwards she's begun to move her feet like in like steps, where as a couple of days ago she would just sort of be dragged along.
So I was wondering for those whose lo's are walking, how long was it from beginning to stand/move feet to your lo toddling around ?

My LO is a very good bum shuffler and therefore has only been walking (around furniture and holding your hands) since she was about 11m. She's now nearly 14 months and is no furtyher foward, she is getting stronger as can now walk only holding one of our hands, but each time we try and get to walk unaided, she drops down on to her bum again and shuffles...will she ever walk??
Any ideas to encourage her?
Thanks
